Thank you kindly for your warm thoughts and prayers.

Today I was measured for my back brace. Once approved by my ins. I'll either pick it up or they make sure it is at the hosp. for after surgery.

surgery is 4 hours long starting at 8 am, then post op and recovery. Dr. says you will be on your back for 3 - 5 days. Today nurse said they will try (operative word "try") to get me on my feet same day as surgery.

The lastest family joke "How mamy emt's does it take to lift a 200 lb frog of little brain upright from the floor?" this happened when I slid off my bed in the middle of the night and slept there until morning. Answer is 3. now you figure where each emt was located. (No not my froggy legs )

Gee, just think in 12 days I'll never again be able to pass through the metal detectors at the airports without being frisked by homeland security. Pat me down "PLEASE"

Thank you all again for your warm thoughts and wishes..
